No frills, no fuss, just gets on with the job,
Bought this sat nav as it was the cheapest TomTom there was(everyone seems to recommend TomTom),and we only wanted it for use in the UK. Very easy to use, instantly worked out a new route when we took a wrong turn. Knocked spots off the nav man we had borrowed before. Took a little bit of getting used to some of the phrases it uses, but only a minor quibble.Screen is very clear and easy to follow. Would definately recommend.

|Easy to use – just stay in the UK,
I have had Tomtom on my pocket pc for a year or so and always found it easy to use. However the wife wanted an all in one unit which would be as easy to use. We tried out the cheap Garmin (Available at Halfords) and found it nowhere near as friendly as Tomtom so when the price dropped for this I decided to go for what we already know.
The Tomtom people are billionaires now and you can see why. The unit is small, easy to use, easy to see, loud, sticks very easily to the windscreen, AND it takes you from a to b. The speed camera warnings are great too although I need to update it still.
So why only the 4 stars. Well I think upgradeability is an important concept and by removing the sd slot I will never be able to use this abroad. However I still have my Pocket PC and we will be using that should we ever drive abroad. But for now this is the easiest and one of the cheapest units around.

|Does what it says on the box but beware no SD card slot!,
Having never had a TomTom before and been encouraged by other users, I jumped at the opportunity when the new One v3 was available – Map Share being an excellent new feature where you can make and receive map updates for free.
The device is excellent but with a major niggle – no SD Card slot! I was shocked to discover this as it’s not clear from the TomTom site or even the box that it arrives in! What’s even more shocking is that the previous version does have an SD slot – so this v3 in some respects is a step back! The only improvement is on-board software but I bet v2 owners can upgrade to allow map share anyway.
So if you want to add maps in the future – avoid this. It only has 512Mb so you can’t load Western Europe.
A shame as in other respects, an excellent device.
